Waay man ko pormal nga eskwela sena, basta bal-an ko lang ara gid na sa akon nga dila mong. Kay kadto nga bata pa ko, sa Mindanao interesado man ko mag-estudyo sena tapos damo pa mga Ilonggo sa banwa namon. Maskin gali ara na ko dire sa US subong, tapos man waay gid ako mga Ilonggo nga amiga amo pa man gihapon, waay man gid nawala sa akon. Lantaw ko gani kung ako makahambal man sang dialect, te nga-a nga indi gid ako maka-hambal sang Chinese te amo man na lenguahe sa akon Lola maskin ano pang obra nakon.

I dont have formal study, I just know that my tongue got it. When I was young in Mindanao, I was interested to study plus there are so many Ilongos in our town, Even I am in the US now, and I have no Ilongo friend, it is still the same. The way I look at it, if I can speak other dialects, why I cant speak Chinese when that is the language of  my Granny no matter how I worked on it.[/color]

wow! For the most part I could understand what you said, there are some changes in words per say "Sang" (ilonggo) is similar to "Ang" (Cebuano).

When I hear Ilonggos talk they end phrases with "ha" or "han". Cute sounding baya.

wolf, unsa may meaning sa tikalon?

Tikalon means 'liar'.

Ayhan!

Do you know of a book that teaches basics of Ilonggo?

I would be so thankful, Gid!

Naka hilak ko when i heard this version..   

kaluuy pood si manong..

Walay Angay


Walay Angay Sung by Jaramie w/ Subtitles

This version is sung partly in Cebuano and Hiligaynon (Ilonggo)

Beautiful..

I will bow to that, Sigbin.

How similar is the Ilonggo Dialect to Cebuano/Bol-anon?

I can understand for the most part what is said (60-70%) but there are some words that are very different.

For example:

When I like something or find a particular dish delicious, I say "Lami", but my beloved, who is Ilongga, will say "Namit".

Do you guys understand Ilonggo ? Can you speak it ?

I am currently trying to learn the basics of Ilonggo. Pero I would like to buy a book that can guide me; is there a book that teaches the basics of this dialect?

Advanced Thanks.

naay similarity pero if mo tan-aw ta sa firmness of their gluteus maximus, maka observe ang tawo that:

1. The woman in the first picture has longer hair and has a well-kept , firmer looking lubut. (gluteus maximus muscle and gluteus minimi muscle).
2. The woman in the last picture that i posted seems to be a bit older, because her lubut is not as firm, nonetheless, it does not take away from the beauty of the scenery. Lubut is Lubut--guapa gihapon.

Pero lami bitaw i-tan-awon. Very natural beauty. A woman's beauty by the setting of nature's open blue-ness.

According to Prof. Leoncio Deriada, although I can't cite him in toto, "jawa" was a word denoting a woman of power (I don't know if this referred to a babaylan or a tribal matriarch) in the Visayan islands of the pre-Hispanic Philippine archipelago.  Supposedly, the Spanish colonizers equated the term to "demon" or "devil" to discourage the pagan faith and practices and also to remove any vestige of power or authority from women.

Thank you very much, Sigs.


Thank you also to Mr. Daray and Islander.

Courtesy of my 10 year old daughter's science research.

Antimatter is currently the only known possible fuel which enables a starship to travel at near the speed of light, then to conserve fuel they will use solar sails. At this speed, a starship could reach 4-5 years to our nearest group of stars (Proxima Centauri & the binary Alpha Centauri). When a man travels at such high speed, his time slows down making him younger than his generation when he comes back to earth. These facts I think is used by the movie Avatar.

The problem is there is non of this stuff on earth except small amounts artificially created at the big doughnut particle accelerator.

Very well written, worded, and explained. Your daughter has a strong understanding of physics and astronomy.

She is a scientist in the making.

Yes, indeed, Mr. Ferniz. It is one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in science.

I am sure your son has played the video game called "HALO" , which involves this slip-space stream technology that uses the basis of technology as the fuel for human galactic imperialism. It is antimatter technology (atom smasher) that will be utilized to fuel space-ship travel and massed migration of human populations to habitable new worlds that can host human life.

In the video game, which actually produced 5 novels that follows the plot of the video game and fills in the questions left in the game , it explains that slip-space technology and antimatter technology was used to colonize the inner planets and the outer planets , all of which were part of the Imperial Arm of Earth under the command of the UNSC (United Nations Space Command).

~~

After reading all 5 novels and playing the 3 video game series, I was left wanting. One is left to believe that such technology is indeed possible and that such human migration --is--indeed possible.

I notice one thing about our species--it is our driven need to explore new worlds and that the need to explore and expand was the basis for producing new technology to augment and support such an expansionist project.

Human galactic colonization of new worlds? Is it really possible? I like to think so.

Afterall, we already conquored gravity by sending man into the heavens. And predict the weather patterns to a degree.
We have conquored the atom and harnished it as a force for destruction (atom bombs).
Now we need to use the atom for a force of good; a force of unfathomable energy that would quench our species' need for energy.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Ferniz!

Wishing you all the best in everything. God Bless!

I would say that the term aswang applies to a wide range of creatures of Philippine lower mythology and the manananggal is a kind of aswang.  There are aswang (I'll just use the singular to indicate the plural) with whole bodies too, though.  Aswang are mainly viscera suckers or viscera eaters and also victimize pregnant women and their unborn child.  According to the legends, they are also shapeshifters in that they may take the form of a dog or a pig.

The Alturas Group of Companies once again expresses its benevolence and concern for the less fortunate Boholanos by making monetary donations of P135,980 to the three beneficiaries, the top-rated radio program "Tagbilaran-By-Nite" of DYRD/DYZD, Sunshine Home, and the Free Clinics.

Alturas top management headed by Alturas PR/Marketing Manager, Loy M. Palapos, turned-over the P85,980 check to anchorman Jerry Pabi at station DYRD last Friday, November 27, together with Mr. Peter Dejaresco, manager of Bohol Chronicle Radio Corporation.
         
A P20,000 check was also given to Sunshine Home, an orphanage managed by Catholic Women's League (CWL) Foundation Inc., when the Alturas Group of Companies also renewed its commitment to help the street children. The donated amount was also turn-over last Friday, November 27, to Sunshine Home Executive Director, Mrs. Esperanza L. Relampagos; together with Mrs. Anita Dospueblos, Sunshine Home Asst. Executive Director; and Mrs. Caridad Auza, Sunshine Home treasurer.

The remaining amount of P30,000 goes to the Free Clinics, an annual medical outreach project were thousands of patients availed themselves of free medication and consultation.

The P135,980 total donations were the bulk of the gross proceeds in the ticket sales of the highly successful Alturas Drum and Bugle Corps Showdown 2009, which was held last November 22, at the CPG Sports Complex.

The Alturas Group of Companies has to date donated hundreds of thousands of pesos to DYRD's "Tagbilaran-By-Night" and Sunshine Home. The donations are given annually and are used as monetary aid to helpless folks, especially those who turn to the radio station to seek assistance. Most pleas for help involve urgent or emergency cases like hospitalization and medicine purchases for indigent Boholanos.

How very kind of them to do this. They are too kind.

A study recently published in Archives of Internal Medicine found that a diet containing nuts, including pistachios, significantly lowered total and LDL-cholesterol levels, in addition to triglycerides. The 600 subject, 25 clinical trial study, conducted in seven counties, is the most comprehensive study of its kind and further substantiates the evidence that nuts can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

The report, authored by Dr. Joan Sabaté of Loma Linda University's School of Public Health, and funded by the International Tree Nut Council Nutrition Research & Education Foundation, set out to quantify the cholesterol-reducing benefits of various nuts, such as pistachios, by analyzing previously published human clinical trials.

A Daily Dose of Nuts Offers Significant Results

The authors reviewed the results of 25 human clinical trials published from 1992 through 2007. The analysis included data from 583 men and women, aged 19 to 86 years old. Among the studies, nut consumption ranged from less than one ounce to 4.75 ounces per day. The average daily intake for the meta-analysis was 67 grams per day or 2.4 ounces.

The results found that when 67 grams of nuts were consumed, triglycerides were reduced by 10.2 percent among those with high triglyceride levels at the onset of the study; and total and LDL-cholesterol were lowered by 5.1 percent and 7.4 percent, respectively. Individuals with higher baseline LDL-cholesterol levels also experienced a greater reduction in total and LDL-cholesterol levels compared to those with normal baseline LDL levels. Subjects following a typical Western-diet also experienced a greater reduction in total and LDL-cholesterol levels (-7.4 percent and - 9.6 percent, respectively) compared to a low-fat (-4.1 percent and -6.0 percent, respectively) or a Mediterranean diet (-4.1 percent and -6.0 percent, respectively).

Another important finding was that greater cholesterol lowering benefits were seen in individuals with a lower BMI compared to those with a higher BMI. Additionally, cholesterol levels were reduced in a dose-dependent result, with benefits seen in as low as a one-ounce serving per day; the greatest benefits were seen when 20 percent of calories were consumed daily from nuts. For the typical 2,000-calorie diet, 20 percent equals 400 calories of nuts or 2.4 ounces (about 120) pistachios.

Pistachios' Unique Nutrient Profile Provides "Hearty" Promise

"Enjoying a handful or two of in-shell pistachios may provide significant heart health benefits," said Martin Yadrick, M.B.A., R.D., immediate past-president of the American Dietetic Association. "They are known to also improve blood vessel function, blood sugar control, act as potent antioxidant and offer weight management benefits, all of which are important for improving heart health."

With more than 30 different vitamins, minerals and beneficial phytonutrients, in-shell pistachios are a nutrient-rich snack. In fact, pistachios provide more potassium and phytosterols than any other nut and are the only nut to contain the carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin. They also have one of the highest antioxidant capacities of all nuts.

If a pregnant mother drinks alcohol she may damage the sperm and fertility of the son she is expecting, says new research presented at the 26th annual meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology in Rome yesterday (Tuesday 29 June).

Danish doctors found that if pregnant mothers drank 4.5 or more drinks each week, the sperm concentration of their male offspring 20 years later was approximately 32% lower than other males whose mother had not drunk alcohol while pregnant with them. A drink was measured as 12 grams of alcohol, which is the equivalent to one 330 ml beer, one small (120 ml) glass of wine or one glass of spirits (40 ml).

Dr Cecilia Ramlau-Hansen, senior researcher at the Department of Occupational Medicine, Aarhus University Hospital (Denmark) and clinical associate professor at the Department of Epidemiology, Institute of Public Health, University of Aarhus, said in a news briefing:

    Our study shows that there is an association between drinking a moderate amount of alcohol (about four to five drinks a week) during pregnancy and lower sperm concentrations in sons. However, because this is an observational study we cannot say for certain that the alcohol causes the lower sperm concentrations. It is possible that drinking alcohol during pregnancy has a harmful effect on the foetal semen-producing tissue in the testes - and thereby on semen quality in later life - but our study is the first of its kind, and more research within this area is needed before any causal link can be established or safe drinking limits proposed.



Dr Ramlau-Hansen and team studied 347 sons of 11,980 women with singleton pregnancies who were recruited to the Danish "Healthy habits for two" study between 1984-1987. At about the 36th week of pregnancy the mothers answered a questionnaire on lifestyles and health. The sons were followed up between 2005-2006, when they were aged between 18-21 years, and semen and blood samples were collected and analyzed.

The sons were divided into four groups, ranging from those who were least exposed to alcohol (their mothers had drunk less than one drink a week) - and this was the reference group against which the other groups were measured - to those whose mothers drank 1-1.5 drinks a week, 2-4 drinks a week, or 4.5 or more drinks per week.

The researchers found that sons of mothers who had drunk 4.5 or more alcoholic drinks a week during pregnancy had average sperm concentrations of 25 million per milliliter, compared to the sons who were least exposed to alcohol who had sperm concentrations of 40 million/ml. After adjusting for various confounding factors, they found the sons in the group most exposed to alcohol had an average sperm concentration that was approximately 32% lower than that in the least exposed group.

The World Health Organization defines a "normal" level of sperm concentration as being approximately 20 million/ml or more.

Bees could have a key role to play in urgently-needed new treatments to fight the virulent MRSA bug, according to research led at the University of Strathclyde.

The scientists found that a substance known as beeglue or propolis, originating from beehives in the Pacific region, was active against MRSA, which causes potentially fatal infections, particularly in hospital patients.

The bug was either the underlying cause or a contributory factor in more than 1,900 deaths between 1996 and 2008.

The research, published in Phytotherapy Research journal, is an example of the pioneering work of the Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences in developing new medicines for illnesses and conditions including infectious diseases, cancer, heart disease, and schizophrenia. An £8 million fundraising campaign is underway for the Institute's new £36 million building, to expand and enhance its innovative research and education in medicine discovery, development and use.

Dr Véronique Seidel, a Lecturer in Natural Products Chemistry at the Institute, led the research. She said: "MRSA can have a devastating impact on people who contract it and on their families, often compounding illnesses they already have.

"One of the few available drugs to treat MRSA infections is an antibiotic called vancomycin. But new strains have been emerging which show limited susceptibility, or even resistance, to vancomycin.

"This means that there is a pressing need to discover and develop alternatives to current anti-MRSA drugs. We investigated propolis, as part of a programme aimed at discovering new antibiotics from natural sources, because bees use it as an antiseptic glue to seal gaps between honeycombs and preserve their hives from microbial contamination.

"Beeglue is also a natural remedy widely-used in folk medicine for a variety of ailments but little has been known until now about its capacity to target MRSA. Our results have been highly encouraging and we will be taking our research further to understand how active substances in propolis work and to seek the treatments which patients urgently require."

The Strathclyde researchers have been working in partnership with Nature's Laboratory in North Yorkshire, a world leader in propolis research and campaigner for deeper scientific understanding of natural medicines. They tested extracts of propolis on 15 MRSA strains obtained from the NHS and isolated two compounds, Propolin C and Propolin D, which showed good activity against all the MRSA strains tested.

The research is the first to report anti-MRSA activity in propolis originating from the Pacific region and the first to describe the anti-MRSA properties of Propolin C and Propolin D. These could possibly act as templates for the development of improved anti-MRSA agents.

The diabetes drug Avandia (rosiglitazone) has been under intense scrutiny since a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) in 2007 looked at over 40 clinical trials and said there was a link between the drug's use and an increased risk of heart attack and death from heart disease.

Today, in a post-trial analysis of results from an international clinical trial of 2,368 diabetes patients with cardiovascular disease, scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and numerous major centers across the USA report no higher risk of heart attack or death in patients taking rosiglitazone. In fact, the latest analysis found a lower combined rate of death, heart attack and stroke linked to patients taking rosiglitazone compared with those who were not taking a thiazolidinedione drug (rosiglitazone or pioglitazone).

This post-trial analysis was presented by Richard G. Bach, MD, a Washington University researcher and medical director of the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, at the American Diabetes Association's Scientific Sessions in Orlando, Fla., USA.

Bach says that these new results are significant in the controversy over rosiglitazone's cardiovascular safety. In an advisory panel scheduled to meet next month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will reconsider the safety of rosiglitazone and decide on whether it should remain on the market.

Bach, who is also associate professor of medicine in the Cardiovascular Division at the School of Medicine, said:

    As a result of the questions raised by the meta-analysis in the New England Journal and certain other studies, some have cautioned that rosiglitazone should not be used in patients with coronary heart disease and diabetes. Our data carefully examine use of rosiglitazone in a large cohort of patients with established coronary artery disease and suggest that treatment with rosiglitazone was not associated with an increased risk of ischemic cardiovascular events, like heart attack and stroke, and in a number of analyses it was associated with a lower rate of those events.



Rosiglitazone, made by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) under the brand name Avandia, is an insulin-sensitizing drug. In type 2 diabetes, the pancreas continues to make insulin, but the body's tissues can't use it well. Rosiglitazone and other thiazolidinediones (TZDs) do not provide more insulin but reduce insulin-resistance, helping the body regulate blood sugar with the insulin it already makes.

A cheap new vaccine against Meningitis A recently approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) is being described as a "game changer" that will bring hope to the 430 million people at risk of the disease in the so-called Meningitis Belt, in Sub-Saharan Africa, but only if there is enough financial backing.

The new vaccine is the result of a collaboration between the Meningitis Vaccine Project (MVP, a partnership between the WHO and the non-profit organization PATH which is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation), and an Indian manufacturer, the Serum Institute of India who will make the vaccine at an agreed starting price of 0.40 US dollars (30 UK pence) per dose.

The new vaccine will change the game in Africa, said Dr Cathy Hewison, medical advisor at Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), because it offers four times greater protection and lasts much longer, which means it can be used to prevent epidemics rather than just respond to outbreaks like the current vaccine.

"In 2009, MSF vaccinated more than 7 million people for Meningitis A, but until now we have been confined to emergency response, trying to slow and stop epidemics," Hewison said in a statement.

According to MSF, final product affordability and medical needs drove the development of the new vaccine. Dr Tido Von Schoen-Angerer, director of their Access to Essential Medicines campaign said:

"This is a complete revolution compared to the usual patent-based, profit-driven model."

He said the developers focused on keeping the vaccine affordable, tailoring it to suit the medical needs of developing countries.

"This is a striking contrast to the blockbuster vaccines developed by the largest commercial developers for Western markets, that fetch extremely high prices and aren't produced with developing country needs in mind," he added.

Research suggests that Africa has been experiencing meningitis epidemics on and off for the last 100 years.

The disease is most prevalent in the Meningitis Belt that stretches from Senegal and the Gambia in the West to Ethiopia in the East, with epidemics occuring during the dry season from December to June. An epidemic wave can last up to three years, dying out during the rainy season.

The size of the epidemics in Africa is staggering: in the 1990s when there was a Meningitis C outbreak in the UK it killed 1,000 people, meanwhile at the same time, a Meningitis A outbreak killed more than 100,000 people in Africa.

Epidemics of such proportions place a great burden on the health systems of the countries in the Meningitis Belt, where some communities have reported infection rates as high as 1 in 100 people (most African epidemics report rates of 100 to 800 per 100,000).

Two alarming new patterns underpin the urgency to bring in this new vaccine: the period between epidemics appears to be getting shorter and the belt appears to be extending further south, towards Angola, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda (Great Lakes region), and Zambia, although this could be a result of increased surveillance says MVP.

Mass roll out of the new Meningitis A vaccine will start this autumn in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger with backing from Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) and WHO.

But rolling out to the rest of the Meningitis Belt will be a challenge: MSF suggests international leadership is needed to mobilize the 475 million US dollars of funds required, as it is unlikely that the targeted countries will be able to shoulder such a burden on their own.

Dr William Perea, a WHO meningitis expert told Associated Press that while this sounds like a lot of money, we have to consider the value for money in terms of public health impact:

"We're spending hundreds of millions of dollars trying to stop a petrol leak in the Gulf," said Perea.

"Don't tell me we can't find the money to pay for something that is a real public health breakthrough," he added.

Perea said that meningitis outbreaks also have knock on effects in other areas. When epidemics occur, for four or five months the health systems in the affected countries come to a halt while health workers focus on meningitis patients.

He said "meningitis will probably be history" if the money and resources can be found to make the vaccine available to the entire area.

They are my great grandparents; they were from Barangay Anas in Valencia, Bohol.

For me , it is important to be financially secure and rooted. I want to be able to provide a stable foundation for my children and raising them in a nourishing environment where I feel I will be mature enough to take a fatherhood role , as well as carry the weight as being husband and protector of my beloved.

Besides, one has to make sure one understands the other person totally (vice versa) to make the total commitment.

Sometimes the emotion is so great, one is left speechless. But it is up to the orator not to back down , one has to interpret their mannerisms to see their actual response.

It adds color to this book we call life, doesn't it Manilyn?

No. I may have said some things to her, but I did not mean it, I have never hated any of my xloves because the truth is that I am not the hating type. Despite the veneer of work and conservative strictness--I have a soft heart, a forgiving one, and one that loves. I let things go by the end of the day. Di lang ko mo say sa other person. Besides, forgiveness is a personal atonement.

In regards to this question, which I think is rather poignant,..I may have had differences with an xlove in regards to our situation and our paths. But one thing is clear--that I loved them enough to let them go. When you love someone..you care about them, their directions in life, their situations, are considerate of their feelings and not just your own. This took a while for me to harness and tap on, but I did.

When you love someone, you have a general understanding of their person, their wants, needs, and perhaps, if it does not invove you anymore..then, one has to understand their view and accept it.

You see, when you do truly love a person, you care for them so much that you could not bear to see them in pain (with you or without you). And just have to let them go. That's the beauty of an understanding Love.

Welcome to Tubigon Port.

Yes, move  on to  a  better life..

Tears are meant to be shed,
hearts meant to be broken.

Because it is when one feels this..does one truly understand the meaning of this word called 'LOVE'.

To feel is to be human.
So...feel...

Amen!

Congratulations and Best of Luck, President Aquino...

(I have several questions, pardon my interest in the subject)



2. How would you describe the Philippine Foreign Policy, during the Marcos Administration, in regards to the War in Vietnam?

Reply:

During Marcos time since our military was the strongest in Southeast Asia and with the urging of the US we went to the war in Vietnam. As part of our foreign policy contribution we sent the PHILCAG to Vietnam. Before the Philcag there was the Philippine expeditionary force. We can say that our foreign policy in regards of fighting war against the communists in Vietnam it sits well also with our law illegalizing the Communist Party of the Philippines.   

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

3. There are claims that it was Marcos that created the NPA, what, if any, are the odds of this being true, or not?

Reply:

Marcos created the NPA is false! NPA is leftist and Marcos authoritarian government was conservative rightist. The Partido Kumunista ng Pilipinas was there in the Philippines before the war. It was founded by Evangelista. His prominent follower was Juan Sumulong the great grandfather of Cory Aquino.

The NPA was founded by Bernabe Buscayno who was once a confidante of Ninoy Aquino. The CCP of Joma Sison fused with Buscayno and the NPA became the armed group of the communist party in our country. When Cory took over power her first land reform beneficiary is the NPA leader Bernabe Buscayno. After Buscayno received largesse from the Cory government... did the NPA insurgency in the Philippines cease? The answer is no.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

4. Did the Visayas region benefit under the Marcos Administration, in terms of infrastructure growth? If so, how would it compare to the rest of the country?

Reply:

Yes, the infrastructure that Marcos built was nationwide but more in his Ilocos region of course. Marcos was not like CPG who had only a hundred meters of concreted road built in his own province of Bohol. That concrete road is in Tubigon.

Marcos will go down in history as the only president who built more roads than all the presidents combined from Aguinaldo to Macapagal. The Philippine-Japan frienship highway was started by Marcos with the building of San Juanico Bridge spanning the islands of Leyte and Samar in the Visayas.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

5. Why does the current Philippine government choose to retain over 90 Republic Acts that were passed during the Marcos Administration? Why aren't they repealed or abolished?

Reply:

The current government cannot erase the laws of Marcos especially those promulgated during his authoritarian regime because those laws are well crafted by Marcos and his law experts inside his government. Please notice that these are not democratically enacted... as acts of congress. We all agree that in the practice of law Marcos is brilliant and with the help of experts, he meticulously designed the laws to last for years and maybe centuries.

Thank You , Sir.

1. What were the military plans that Marcos had regarding the issue of Sabah?

Reply:

There is no question that North Borneo [sabah] is a Philippine territory. The British annexed the territory to the Federation of Malaya after they were granted independence by the British. The former president Diosdado Macapagal sent then vice president Emmanuel Pelaez to Britain to claim North Borneo for the Philippines without success.

Malaysia in respond to the claim of the territory conducted a referendum asking the people as; "what country do they want to belong... Philippines or Malaysia? The Borneans voted for Malaysia."

When Marcos came to power our military possessed the best fighting men in all of South East Asia. Since Malaysia refused to hand-over the territory to the Philippines Marcos deviced a plan to bring back North Borneo to the Philippines. The military through the approval of Marcos recruited young Tausog Muslims to be trained as "commando fighters" to infiltrate North Borneo and agitate Filipinos living in North Borneo to start an insurgency war against the government of Malaysia.

This happened in the early part of the second term of Marcos. This plan of Marcos was not without a spy in congress. His name is Ninoy Aquino. In a privilege speech he dropped the bomb that the military massacred muslim recruits and one survivor swam from Corregidor and emerged out from the water along Roxas Boulevard. The name of the survivor is Araulo. This person who according to Ninoy emerged out from the sea along Roxas Boulevard... is a fictitious person supplied by a dossier to Ninoy. The press mentioned Araulo but nobody saw this person except in Ninoy's privilege speech. This person and the issue of the massacre were good material to lambast Marcos who was his political enemy. After everything is told and done the massacre that took place in Corregidor according to Ninoy... is a big lie. There was no massacre in Corregidor.

The Corregidor issue angered Nur Misuari who was then a professor at the University of the Philippines. He went back to Sulo and formed the MNLF. I can say that because of his privilege speech Ninoy Aquino was a big factor in the Moro insurgency under Misuari. The next worse thing that happened to the MNLF when Martial Law was declared was that many of them were driven out of Sulo to Sabah. This is why Ninoy in his speaking engagement abroad during his self-exile because of his own making he always tell his listeners that; "there are more than 200 thousands Muslim exiles in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah." He blamed Marcos for the plight of the Muslim exiles but to the person who understands the issue he is to be blamed.   

This issue brought up by Ninoy was a big blow to the government of Marcos that it became too embarrassing for the military to continue with their "commando" training. This scandal reached the British government that commonwealth allies like Australia and New Zealand sent a flotilla of warships into the sea fronting Palawan. To counter the planned sabotage by the Philippines, the gurkha fighters of the British Army was sent into North Borneo... trained the Malaysian Army in counter insurgency and jungle warfare. The last Gurkha that left Sabah [North Borneo] was in 1986 when Marcos military was in disarray and lost already the vigor to fight.

The irony here is that Marcos who dared to fight for our country's territory is a villain and Ninoy who betrayed the aim of the Filipinos to bring North Borneo is a hero.

Thank You for this answer, Sir.

Dear brothers and sisters from Valencia,

I would like to create a thread that names all the mayors of the town of Valencia.

Can you guys share with us the names of the mayors that presided over our town (from first to current).

Salamat Kaayo.

History tells us that Valencia was once part of Dimiao. Why did they divide Valencia from Dimiao?

hahaha. i divide na lang 1/2 of time in mercado and 1/2 of the time in restaurants.
Gusto ko mo bisita sa Guangzhong, China. Ingon man to ahong Lola that we still have relatives living there--kai my great-grandfather was from Guangzhong (ning immigrate sa Pilipinas). Ingon to si Lola Babing (my grand-aunt) that when my Lolo Mariano was still alive, hilig kono to siya mo cook ug noodles, ug sabaw. Mo luto kono to siya ug duck pood.

Ingon pood si Lola Babing that mo ininchik kono to si Lolo. He spoke in Cantonese.
When he spoke bisaya, he had a very strong inchik accent kono. hehehe. i can just imagine him.

Ug mo adto ko sa Guangzhong, gusto ko mo kaon as how he would have eaten like pood. Kanang dili pa fancy-fancy. I want to try everything--pero most of all the real experience.

~~

I hope lang maka adto ko sa China pohon.

haha mao ba? I know lang sa una--when i visited Phils in 1998, we went to the mercado to buy fresh (prisko kaajo) small fish (i forget the Filipino name) that one uses in kinilaw. My grandfather prepared it for us--he added onions, tomatoes, ginger, vinegar, and other sauces with it. Lami kaajo.

And at night we would go to Badjang and order a large Swordfish and have it cooked sinugbang style. The rice we ate was our home-growned rice from my grandfather's basaks. Lahi jud ang rice sa Valencia kai lami...

I compared it to the rice grown here in the 'states...lahi ra jud. Philippine Rice is one of the best..and the best is in Bohol.

yeah... i got a new job... 

Congratulations, Jenneth!

Toast! 

I respect Dr. Concepcion Lim, MD for her contributions to the town, the medical facilities that she and her family have created. I know that there is no perfect government, and that there are things that could be worked out, political talks are just political talks--but what counts is the content and character of the individual. Not what other people say about the individual, but what the individual has done, what the individual's motives are, their principles in life, and their personal calling on (whatever it may be).


Congratulations to the Lim Family for their success. Let us hope and pray that God guides her and to provide only the best for the people.
May God Bless Valencia, and our people...
God Bless Bohol Province!

Ingon ahong mga amigo nga inchik that 'the best chinese food are the ones you eat in local markets' tinood ba ning statement, Bai Bugsay?
Mo believe ko nimo about fresh veggies and fruits kai even diri sa market places sa South Jersey..most of the warehouses are Chinese-owned.
They really are into exotic plants, fresh fruits, fresh veggies, and soup-based products.

I would like to visit China (the rural area) and try the things there. Testing-Testing ra lang.
